"The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one."
- Joan Baez


Ain't that the truth.
Shit.

And as I started to type this entry I'm texted by Mario. I read my horoscope for the day:

"Taking a chance can be fun for you today, but your current penchant for risk-taking can also bring trouble. You don't have to push the envelope to enjoy yourself. In romance, however, this can be the right time to open your heart and share it with someone who is ready for fun. Being honest with your feelings breaks down barriers and could lead to a loving connection. "

What we wouldn't give for that star map so we could navigate more clearly. I'm not so sure a map would help. I think it would only be a snapshot of the way we would see our futures for that moment, but by the time we actually got to any one particular point, the lights would all be arranged differently. We can see and feel light from great distances, but by the time it reaches us, much time has already passed. The stars are not the same as we experience them.

In time, people are not the same as we once experienced them. The moment that we shared their warmth and light isn't necessarily how we will experience them each time our paths cross again. It's nice when that does happen. It's beautiful sometimes. Regardless, I still see all of my warm experiences as stars; bright, shiny, warm.
